Six Scouts from Troop 272 in Nashua, NH, stepped up during a hike on Mount Chocorua when an adult leader suffered a fractured ankle. The Scouts quickly assessed the situation, splinted the injury, and stabilized her until rescue teams arrived.
Working alongside New Hampshire Fish and Game and Lakes Region Search and Rescue, they helped ensure a safe evacuation from more than three miles up the trail.
Skills learned in Scouting, from first aid to teamwork under pressure, make a real difference when it matters most.
